Below 1% THC

Sometimes less is more—a sentiment that couldn't be truer for our range of below 1% THC cannabis strains. With a massive variety of seeds available, great flavours, aromas and effects can be found here. As a hugely popular alternative to more top-heavy THC cultivars, many are turning to these strains for a different kind of enjoyment from their herb.

Why choose cannabis seeds with almost no THC?

When we think about cannabis, we often think about the effects produced. Whether this is through smoking, vaping or edible means, the high is paramount to the experience for many. However, <1% THC strains (sometimes called cannabis-light) offer the full flavours and aromas and are perfect for those looking to enjoy cannabis without a heavy psychoactive response. The low THC is often offset by an abundance of CBD and other cannabinoids, also leading these strains to sometimes be called CBD cannabis.

Available in feminized, regular and autoflowering variants, <1% THC strains can be cultivated much like any other cannabis seed. Overall, making for a rewarding home growing project that is effortless to maintain and even easier to enjoy once harvested.

Are low THC strains hemp or marijuana?

When is cannabis classed as hemp or marijuana? While these strains contain less than 1% THC, hemp is defined as having a THC content of 0.3% and below. Because of this, our strains are still technically marijuana and sold as so, albeit without the high normally associated with cannabis. The 0.3% rule was imposed in 1979 by author Ernest Small in his book, The Species Problem in Cannabis: Science & Semantics. While Small himself has determined that the number itself is incidental, in America, the Agricultural Act of 2018 took this number as gospel, giving us the definition we broadly stick to today.

Is it legal to cultivate cannabis with less than 1% THC?

As we've mentioned, THC levels indeed dictate how cannabis is defined. However, that doesn't mean that because they are <1% that it is legal to cultivate low THC cannabis at home. Of course, this is a grey area as different countries will have their own rules for cultivation. It's certainly worth bearing in mind that these seeds are not EU certified for hemp cultivation and that local laws should be checked and adhered to.

That's not to say that these seeds don't deliver in the cultivating department. They are ideal for novice and experienced growers and will perform in indoor and outdoor settings. So choose your seeds, give them the proper level of care, allow them to flourish, and you'll be enjoying cannabinoid-rich weed before you know it. With a vast range available, we're confident you can get paired with a <1% THC seed that will really suit you.
